Last night, after reuniting with my sadly neglected treadmill, I sat down to write down everything I ate during the day. Nothing about that statement is typical, of course. What is typical? The fact that I ate a burrito for every meal.

Okay, I don’t normally eat three burritos in one day, but yesterday? I did it.

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that I was over my Weight Watchers points for the day.

Also not surprising? The fact that I’m looking for an excuse to make something Mexican today for Cinco de Mayo – and that I’ve already been to the store for tomatoes, cilantro and tortillas!

I’m not sure what I’ll be making for tonight’s dinner, but I can guarantee taco seasoning and salsa will be involved. Just in case you, too, are in the random, oft-misunderstood holiday spirit, here are some of my favorite recipes for Mexican dishes (and appetizers).
